Bumrah's dominance was evident throughout the series, where he showcased his skills with a stunning eight-wicket haul in Perth, followed by a six-wicket performance at the Gabba. His impactful bowling at the MCG further solidified his reputation, culminating in a total of 32 wickets at an impressive average of just 13.06. Unfortunately, an injury during the SCG Test prevented him from matching or surpassing the legendary Sydney Barnes' record of 34 wickets in a series by a touring pace bowler in Australia.
Clarke noted that Bumrah's absence in the final innings of the SCG Test could have significantly altered the dynamics of Australia's chase, highlighting the importance of his contributions to the team. Additionally, Bumrah's exceptional form has earned him a nomination for the ICC Player of the Month award for December 2024, alongside notable players like Pat Cummins and Dane Paterson.
